It is not always possible to just call and find out where a person is now. In some situations, finding a person online is not a simple whim, but a vital necessity. This can be done using a mobile phone.
How to find a person by phone number online
When it comes to finding a location by phone number, many people assume that you can simply call a cell phone company and find out the whereabouts of a person. But this is an erroneous statement. No telecom operator can provide any information about him without the permission of the owner of the phone number.
But there is a special smartphone app that can show where a person is. This is a completely free program that is allowed by law. When using it, the subscriber gives permission to the request for the provision of location data. This application is called geolocation.
What is geolocation
Geolocation is the ability of a phone to determine its location. This is made possible by the extensive satellite and radar coverage. The most famous and widespread satellite system is GPS. Thanks to geolocation, you can determine your location or the location of another subscriber in a matter of seconds.
In addition to the location, geolocation is able to build a route, show the requested point on the map, track your parcels, find a lost phone and even determine the location of a stolen car.
Geolocation of MTS
Mobile TV systems provide their users with the Locator service for a monthly fee. Users of other operators can also use it. You can find out about the location of a person by the MTS number only with the acceptance of the user agreement of the desired subscriber.
Geolocation Megaphone
Megafon also has an application to find a person online. It is called "Radar". Users are provided with three types of this application: lite, standard and plus version.
- The light version is free, but you can see the location of only one person per day. It is a kind of demo version of the application.
- The standard version costs 3 rubles. per day and allows its users to find up to 5 people per day. In this version, you can also show an unlimited number of locations by known coordinates.
- The "+" version allows you not only to find a person by phone number, but also to track his entrances and exits to certain zones. They are specified by the owner of the application. And if the desired subscriber enters the zones of interest to the user, then an SMS notification comes. SMS also comes when the desired subscriber leaves the zone. This is very useful when tracking the whereabouts of children.
The "Radar" application from Megafon allows you to track not only users within your operator, but also users of other mobile operators.
Geolocation Beeline
Beeline provides its users to track the location of only users within the network. The location application is called "Beeline. Coordinates". The service is provided only for a subscription fee and only with the consent of the subscriber to the processing and distribution of data about the client's location.
Geolocation TELE2
TELE 2 offers its subscribers the Geopoisk program. With the help of it, for a monthly fee, you can track a person by a number within the network. The application does not support the search for subscribers of other operators. This geolocator is more likely to be suitable only for parents tracking their child's location because it only searches within the home coverage area.
